Mr. Gomrly needs this redone with the correct year. Graphics need to be clean, centered etc... School color. You can get a bit creative if you wish. Front page and side. The year should read 2012 and not include a month.

Friday will be the last day you can show me your 6 photo's and your seventh perfect photo.

and then #8

Remove graffiti, phone lines and hanging lights. Look carefully. Imagine this is being made into a poster. It has to be perfect. There are many wires going through the trees. You are going to send this to me when you are done and I am going to look very carefully at each one. You should enlarge it when you fix it as I will be doing the same when I grade it. send it to plhsbooth@gmail.com

This is really cool. The second one is amazing so please read all the way though.. ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

Count every 'F' in the following text:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

(SEE BELOW)

HOW MANY?
WRONG, THERE ARE 6-- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN! Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.
The reasoning behind is further down. The brain cannot process 'OF.' Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!
Anyone who counts all 6 'F's' on the first go is a genius.Three is normal, four is quite rare.

You need to enlarge them on the screen to do a good job. You are replacing pixels and it works very well if you enlarge your photo and do careful work. Make sure you have replace selected on the top left for mode. I would rather you take time and do it right than rush through it and have it look amateurish.

Please do your own research and investigation into things you hear or facts you are given. Information can easily be skewed to reflect the way someone wants the world to be or the way they wished it would be. Finding the truth is not easy and with the internet, anyone one can say anything and have it instantly published as "the truth." Use multiple sources that do not have an agenda they are promoting. Where are you getting your information? Is the site, book or person unbiased? What is the reputation of the source? Does the source have an agenda? Always, Consider your source. And yes, that includes me! I have been wrong in the past and I will be wrong in the future. If I teach you something that you believe to be incorrect, then prove me wrong. Shoot, I'll give you a couple of bonus points for doing the research.

No more facebook or youtube unlocked or, any site that is blocked. Sorry. I guess that was supposed to happen already but I didn't get the memo. You can still listen to music but you will need to find an unblocked site.

For yesterday's assignment you can email a pic of yourself to yourself or do a search on google for a pic of yourself or... Use a pic of anyone.

I am missing my 4th period grade roster. It was in my clipboard. If anyone finds it please return it. If you know that someone took it, you can email me at plhsbooth@gmail.com and lead me in the right direction. This creates more work for me. It is better for all concerned if it just shows up. If you turn it in I will not assume you took it.

Our Principal would like the cover of the card to have some sort of Point Loma High look. So that it identifies our school. If you are done and don't want to change what you have done it will not effect your grade. However, it will probably also not meet her needs and be used.

There is a folder on the idisk for your planner cover. It is titled "planner cover 2010-20011"If you are not done you should have a good start on it. We have more projects coming up. After you are done with your cover and have it in the folder, go to your indisgn book you started and add the cover and any other work to your book.

ID is a book making program from Adobe. You can drag PDF files right into a new doc. You can create books and e-books. We are figuring this one out together so be patient. The end result will be you work in a portfolio.
